One of the keys to growing your account is the proper usage of hashtags. We’ve scoured Instagram to share the best travel hashtags for travel writers and bloggers to use on posts. This hashtag guide is newly updated as of February of 2022.

Keep reading to find the best Instagram hashtags for travel writers, hashtags for travel bloggers and hashtags for travel photographers.

Best Travel Hashtags for Instagram for Travel Writers

Where to Place Hashtags

Instagram is constantly changing and what works best is also ever-changing. While I used to place my #hashtags in the first comment for the photo (not in the post), I know suggest you add all your hashtags in your original post. The reason for this is how quickly Instagram is moving. If you wait even 30 seconds to copy and paste your hashtags into the comment, you could lose the time your post would sit at the top of the hashtag search results.

Click on the post below and you’ll get an even better idea of how the hashtags are positioned in the post when you view it on Instagram.

How Many Hashtags to Use in a Post

You can add up to 30 hashtags per post, but recently it’s been said that 15-20 is ideal. I know it seems like a lot, but hashtags will produce the most likes, comments and organic followers for your account. Below is an overview of some of the hashtags I like to use and think are useful.

Note: If you use more than 30 tags on a post your comment won’t post. If you post more than 30 tags in your main post, the tags won’t appear in search.

How to Store Hashtags

The last thing you want to do is type in your travel hashtags each time you post a new photo. Create a list in an app you can access from your mobile phone such as Google Drive, Notes, Evernote or anything else you prefer. I have a folder specifically for hashtags and add a new page for each new location I visit. I also have a list for food, outdoors, adventure, etc.

Top Hashtags on Instagram for 2022

You should never underestimate the importance of a simple, but good Instagram hashtag strategy. It plays a vital role in spreading your Instagram reach, and it helps develop your following. It’s great to understand and know Instagram top hashtags, but by definition, the most popular hashtags are also the most used hashtags.

#photography, which is the 40th most popular has been used in over 25 million posts. Using only the most popular hashtags can present a problem if you are hoping to use hashtags that will make your posts stand out. You need to balance the use of a few popular hashtags with ones that reflect your post topic and have a more ‘medium’ use volume.
